Jungle Glam

Even though it's crisp and chilly outside right now...and blustery days are ahead, I am going to throw us back in a little summer-fun mode with my outfit today! 

In honor of Lilly Pulitzer's 2011 resort-wear release, I have taken a couple of pieces from her new collection to show off to the readers.

This outfit would be perfect for a night-time cocktail soiree in a festive, tropical scene. We are envisioning Jungle Glam people! 

So here's a little taste of the exotic summer fun:

I am loving these fantastic cigarette pants in black and white, with a simple white tank. Accessorize the look with a bright orange pashmina (pop of color that will keep you warm with the night sea breeze), a white, gold, and orange cuff, simple black and gold earrings, and these FABULOUS mint green wedges. The shade will look dynamic against the black and white and complements the orange superbly!

Here's where you can shop the look:

Elaina Cigarette Pant $138

Basic Scoop Vest $12

Orange Viscose Solid Pashmina $20

Kate Spade Round Lever-Back Earrrings $58

Coral Siesta Cuff $68

Resort Chic Wedge Suede $198

Bold: Lilly Pulitzer designs @ Lilly Pulitzer

This look can be seen on {long distance loving} today as well, I am entering for a Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway!

Happy Friday everyone!!

turquoise neckwear

I think turquoise is such a fabulous color and is such a great look as a statement necklace. I have two turquoise necklaces that I love to wear, and have been sporting them multiple times over the summer months. The first necklace is big turquoise stones (more of a blue tone) with black accents in between the beading pattern. I am a bit of a craft nut and last summer made the necklace! It is tight around the neck, but very chic and the black beads separating the stones looks great...and definitely dresses up any outfit. The second necklace I have is a greener turquoise with gold accent beads. This is double stranded and also lays higher up on the neckline. (I am a big fan of big colorful statement necklaces!) I received this one from my roommate for my birthday and I love to dress it up or down. Turquoise does well with classic black and white.

One of my favorite simple outfits with the necklace is: black leggings, oversized white blouse, a turquoise necklace, gold bracelets, and simple flats.

Other colors that work great with turquoise are bright pinks and orange!
